Highlights
Pet care experience
Daily hikes and couch potato time-
In Garden Valley- I only offer house sitting and walks- I do not offer boarding. In Carson City, NV, I offer both! I’m a retired massage therapist/firefighter married to a retired firefighter/paramedic and have been rescuing Rhodesian Ridgebacks and wolf dogs for over 20 yrs. I provide daily hikes on the blm land behind my house, and couches or dog beds to lie on after. I love big dogs and promise a happy, tired experience. I’ve worked for veterinarians, and used to breed/show Rhodesian Ridgebacks, then discovered to joys of rescuing adult dogs. I’ve also owned 3 wolf dogs so I’m good with all sorts of behavior issues and the gentle ways to address them. I’d love to offer a great holiday for your dogs while your away on your vacation. I have a 3 story house on 5 unfenced acres with a 50 x 50 fenced area, bordering blm by the Carson River. I have no problem with leash or off leash (after evaluation) and look forward to meeting you. I’ve had 2 bad experiences with dog sitters who promised to walk my dogs daily- and each took my dogs for a walk once in 3 weeks-this won’t happen at my house since I love to get out! If you have multiple dogs, I’m your person! Just a bigger excuse to work out! Rest assured, your active dog will be taken care of, or your older dog will be cherished in my home. I have a dog ramp for cars, a handicap ramp for my house, and have used a dog wheel chair and lifting/walking aids . I can handle most medical situations and don’t have problem with “handicap” dogs. I’ve also lived in farms most of my life and am able to care for all your horse and livestock needs. Also good with snakes/reptiles (I currently have 4) fish and birds.

Ratings and reviews
Stephanie V. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Stephanie did an outstanding job taking care of my fur babies, Sasha and Archie! When I arrived back home they were happy and healthy. The house was probably cleaner than I left it. Stephanie sent plenty of pictures, which I enjoyed. I highly recommend Stephanie for house and pet sitting.
Great sitter! Our pup came home happy and tired. Multiple daily walks/ runs in the hills made for a great stay with Stephanie. Thanks again!
She did an amazing job. Sent pictures and updates everyday. My dog was so happy
She did a wonderful job with our 3 dogs. Kept us in the loop and sent lots of pictures.
Stephanie was great! She gave lots of love to our dogs and took good care of the house. I would definitely use her again.

Schedule
I currently work a few hours a day from home, but my priority everyday is an hour plus hike in the blm behind my house and I love bringing dogs with me.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will feed your dog on it’s normal schedule and take them on daily walks on the blm behind my house. Potty breaks are frequent and furniture is open! I have a dog crate if your dog is used to them, and dog beds everywhere.

A typical day
On leash hikes for at least 1 hr per day... and if your dog has great recall, possibly off leash with your permission and my evaluation.
